Welcome to the 2017 edition of The 100 Greatest Videogames. If youre not familiar with the format, here are our rules. In compiling this list, we worked to simple criteria: all formats  portable, touchscreen, console, PC, whatever  were eligible; we could include only a single entry from any series that features straight-up sequels; and each game had to stand up today rather than making the cut for reasons of nostalgia or historic significance.

Not all of the games featured here are new, however. In fact, some of the most invigorating parts of the curation process involved pulling out and replaying a number of the most seasoned titles from the Edge archives. Hopefully this much-argued-over collection will inspire you in the same way.

As always with these lists, I don't agree with the placement of some titles. I'm surprised The Witcher III isn't in the top-20 and that Horizon Zero Dawn placed higher than some all-time classics like Shadow of the Colossus, Super Metroid, and Demon's Souls.

Yeah, I certainly wouldn't place Breath of the Wild at the #1 spot, but I know quite a few people consider it their favorite game of all time, so I understand it.

Edit: Wait, no Chrono Trigger? That's an interesting omission. I'm so used to seeing it on every top-whatever list.
